drum catastrophe!
 

Well I'm new to drums! Nearby i cant find someone that teaches good drumming lessons! and the closest one is more than 50km away!!! How can i learn it by myself?!?? What should I do!? Thanks in advance!XD

I taught myself to play drums... you can do it.

I suggest you listen to lots of music, get a pair of decent headphones, turn it up, sit down at your drumset, and try to get the grooves. Your right foot is the kick drum, your left the hi-hat. Cross your hands so your right hand plays the hats, and your left plays the snare. Stay away from drum files and crashes at first, just concentrate on getting a good solid groove that doesn't speed up or slow down. Focus on the kick especially-- as you feel better with the kick patterns in the song you're listening to, add snare, then add hat... it will take TONS of practice.

Good luck!

If your not getting anywhere on your own, go out and buy some beginning drum books. That ones I'm using right now are A Funky Primer for the Rock Drummer by Charles Dowd, and I'm also playing out of a snare drum bookbut it might now help you much.

You have a fantastic teacher in the form of the internet!

Course it will never be AS good as a good drum teacher, but it'll do! (and it's a damn sight cheaper than private lessons!)

It's definately possible to teach yourself, i did and a lot of that initially was just drumming with my hands and feet everywhere i went. much to the annoyance of people around me. you can practise the co-ordination for offbeats, double time beats etc just using this method!

and if my testimony isn't enough, John Bonham taught himself. So there you go! :D
